Upsteam, in the mountains, the water may be flowing over rocks. In the valleys, the depth of earth and softer material is greater, so enabling the river to erode a deeper channel.

What is a control section in open channel flow?

in open channel flow Control sections occur at entrances and exits to channels and at changes in channel slopes, under certain conditions. A gate in a channel can be a control for both the upstream and downstream reaches. In a the flow passes through critical at the entrance to a channel, and the depth can be computed there for a given discharge. The channel is steep; therefore, computations proceed downstream.
